Lena, our loved one is gone

S. Foster

Lena, the pride of our home,

Gone from the earth. Oh! where does she roam?

Fond hearts still sigh o'er her tomb,

Lena, our loved one is gone.

Lena the gentle and fair

Happy by day and at night free from care,

Lena, with light waving hair,

Lena, our loved one is gone.

Lena, with young tender eyes,

Lending to earth the light of the skies

Lena's dear mem'ry ne'er dies,

Lena our loved one is gone.

Pure as the dew drop was she

Smiling on earth ever joyous and free,

Dear, dear to sad memory

Lena our loved one is gone.
